Described in ISSCC 2017 Paper 5.3, the technique involves rapid and delicate adjustment of oscillator load capacitance to coax the crystal into life. The mechanical resonating parts of a crystal look ...

Figure 1 below shows the measurement result on one of the parallel resonant crystal connected to a pierce oscillator, where y-axis represents the output frequency deviation (in ppm) from rated ...

Primary design considerations for fundamental-mode oscillators using AT-cut crystals include load capacitance, negative resistance, startup time, frequency stability versus temperature ...

Anything that can be done to reduce the capacitive load will reduce the total current draw. Figure 2 shows an example of the test boards used to create the crystal-oscillator circuit. Figure 2 Test ...
